I am a veterinary technician and it sounds as if your cat may have a common cat virus often occuring in younger cats/kittens. It is equivelant to a cold we may get and generally is a virus which cannot be treated with antibiotics. Be sure he is eating and crinking normally and if he seems to get lethargic take his temperature (rectally) normals are 100-102.5. If he has a fever it would be a good idea to get him a appointment at a clinic. Try to keep his eyes and nose clear by using a warm moist cottonball.

My cat had runny eyes for about 2 months but eventually just seemed to clear up. I used to wipe them with a damp cloth to try and help. It thought it could be a kind of cat hay fever but i'm no expert.
If it doesn't clear up within a few more weeks i'd her to the vet for a check up...

I have a Siamese and he doesn't have this problem. She may have allergies. I would take her to a vet to make sure. Typically runny eyes are common in Persians, not Siamese.

The Asian breeds have eye discharge normally. They also many times have 'allergies' and if the discharge is a LOT then maybe a trip to the vet is in store. Seems if the eyes are blue they have this immune sensitivity too. I give my two Asian cats an herb once a week called NEEM in wet cat food and it helps their allergies. You can order NEEM online. It is a good herb for humans too.

Is she sneezing as well? If so it might be a feline infection like a cold and a dose of antibiotics will cure it. Some siamese are so over bred that they do have eye, ear and teeth promblems. You might just have to live with it.

The cat needs a vet soon. Its either a upper respitory infection causing this or allergies.More then likely its a upper respitory infection. Letting this go can cause permanent eye damage.A simple antibiotic should clear this up.

Sounds like an eye infection to me there eyes should be clear with no discharge at all , you might take it to your vet for eye drops.

Please take her to a Vet. Runny eyes are often a symptom of illness. She may even have flu which is extremely serious.
